MLSTHEMETEAM

Join the top MLS Fantasy players as they train their brains and have some laughs, while teaming up to tackle a weekly player selection challenge. Following a successful 2017 trial, MLSTHEMETEAM is a brand new, collaborative and interactive way to enjoy MLS Fantasy in 2018.

RULES

There is a single MLSTHEMETEAM account, looking to score the highest number of points within the restraints of a weekly chosen theme and current budget. If enough players can't be selected to fit the theme, "non-playing scrubs" will fill the remaining slots. Some favourite themes may be repeated during the season.

HOW TO JOIN IN

The next theme will be announced on Twitter @oldergoaler at the end of every MLS Fantasy game week, Contribute your ideas for player selections, or join the interactive discussion in the MLS Fantasy Boss chatroom. Before the deadline, oldergoaler and the chatroom regulars will take those ideas and submit a final squad in the MLSTHEMETEAM account. Follow along during the games to see if we stick with our lineup, or use more of your suggestions on the fly to take advantage of MLS Fantasy's new "rolling transfer" deadlines.

GOALS

Have fun. Spark conversation. By the end of the season, you'll become a more knowledgeable MLS fan, and likely a better MLS Fantasy player.

SAMPLE THEMES

You can expect a couple of silly ones, but most themes will be skill-testing challenges based on aspects of the MLS Fantasy game itself (eg. form, value, player history, etc.). You might even need to do some research. Themes like these might pop up:
